Cluster Specs

Hardware

The University of Vermont Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) has complete the third major upgrade to the high performance computing (HPC) cluster. More than doubling the total number of computing cores available to faculty and student users, the upgrade also showcases a continued investment at UVM in "green computing," with next generation IBM hardware chosen for the upgrade bringing up to 30% more energy efficiency than equivalent HPC systems. Multi-year grants from NASA, championed by US Senator Patrick Leahy, give strong support to the VACC.

Application Software

In addition to the list below, we offer a variety of applications software, community codes, and tools for use on the VACC system. Science areas include chemistry, molecular dynamics and image processing, including various libraries and support packages for building high-performance software applications. An assortment of compilers, debuggers and performance tools are also available.
